		The <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b> macro concatenates its arguments after they have been expanded.
	</div>
	<h4>Usage</h4>
		<div class="code">
			<b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b>(<i>a</i>, <i>b</i>)
		</div>
	<h4>Arguments</h4>
		<dl>
			<dt>a</dt>
			<dd>
				The left operand of the concatenation.
			</dd>
			<dt>b</dt>
			<dd>
				The right operand of the concatenation.
			</dd>
		</dl>
	<h4>Remarks</h4>
		<div>
			The preprocessor token-pasting operator (<b>##</b>) prevents arguments from expanding.&nbsp;
			This macro allows its arguments to expand before concatenation.
		</div>
		<div>
			Concatenation must not result in an invocation of a macro that uses <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b>.&nbsp;
			If that happens, <b>BOOST_PP_CAT</b> will not expand the second time.
		</div>
